| Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of this trial is to assess the long-term safety of maintenance therapy versus intermittent therapy with infliximab in subjects with moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the PASI75 (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) response rate at Week 128 (PASI75 is defined as the proportion of subjects achieving a =75% improvement in PASI from the original Baseline in Study P04271).;Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of long-term maintenance therapy versus intermittent therapy with infliximab (5 mg/kg by body weight) in adult subjects (aged 18-75 years) diagnosed with moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis who have remained on 22 weeks of treatment with infliximab in Study P04271, and completed the full 26 weeks of Study P04271. | — |
